I have also noticed that the in game ping that is displayed is usually much higher than outside of the game. Nearly double in fact. A lot of that is probably due to Steam overhead.

As an example, our Dedicated server is located in Reno, Nevada. I am in Ottawa, Ontario. Outside of Steam my ping to the server is in the 80 - 90ms range. Within the game, when connected it shows a ping of closer to 200ms. When I check the DS API page, it shows my ping as being closer to the direct value (usually around 100ms).

In all honesty, I have gotten to the point of ignoring the in game number.

Ok, I know what UDP is. I had it activated to use telemetry software. So, should you turn it on or off?

If you are currently using it, try turning it OFF for a race or two and see if it makes a difference. It will mean you won't be able to use the app for now, unless the app also supports the Shared Memory option.

The problem is that I do not use the application for 1 month but I will still try

Afaik the ping shown for people in-game is your own ping to the DS + the other player’s ping + whatever overhead there migt be, which usually is 20-30 ms or so for me.

Your mileage may vary, but it holds true for me when comparing pings from the DS api and what I am seeing as ping in the game for different players.
